Oregon to Seattle – lost and a ferry !

Sad to leave Oregon, as we enter Washington State we encounter trees, trees, more trees and areas where trees once were and new trees are awaiting planting. By the time we approached Seattle tiredness began to take its toll, yesterday had been idyllic with a short day of travel and a great overnight location with some much needed rest after 4000 odd miles. So at Astoria on the bridge to nowhere Washington was the new State, and Seattle the goal. Somewhere on I5 we lost I5 and ended up heading down the wrong side, we would miss the city and turning back would add a lot of hours and miles to our journey! But all is not lost, there are ferries and our satnav found us one that was just about to leave. Less than an hour later and only $12 lighter we ended up in downtown Seattle ready for a days exploring tomorrow.
